For those unaware, Sean Bean played Odysseus in Troy (2004), the retelling of Homer's Iliad.
I think a miniseries would be a perfect medium for the story, rather than a really long film. Sean Bean is 61, but I still think he'd play a great Odysseus (I think I read somewhere that Odysseus is around 45-50 years old by the time he gets home).
Anyone else longing for a good old Greek epic with the Bean?
